Gone were the days when electronic appliances and gadgets were the common prizes, especially during company Christmas parties.
This year, employers are more creative in expressing gratitude to their top-performing staff.
Take it from the CEO of Nirvasian Fulfillment, a fulfillment center 3PL business in the Philippines. He surprised his employees with an unexpected gift at the annual Christmas party: Paid leave and a trip for the Top performers of 2022.
According to Mouad Izegnane, the company's decision to give this gift was motivated by their appreciation for their employees' hard work and dedication.
"Our team is the backbone of Nirvasian Fulfillment, and we wanted to show our appreciation in a meaningful way," said Mouad.
"We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to take a break and recharge, and we hope this paid leave and trip will allow our employees to do just that," he added.
The paid leave and holiday trip were to all Nirvasian's top-performing employees, regardless of their position or length of service with the company.
The details of the trip have been announced, and Mouad said that it would be an all-expenses-paid trip to Boracay island as it's a destination that will allow employees to relax and enjoy themselves fully.
The paid leave and trip announcement was met with excitement and gratitude from Nirvasian's employees.
"I can't believe this is happening," said Honey Gajano, operations supervisor at the company.
"I've been with Nirvasian for three years. It's amazing to see a CEO who truly cares about his employees and goes above and beyond to show it. We are lucky to work with such a great leader," she added.
Nirvasian Fulfillment is known for its commitment to its over a hundred employees and their well-being, and this gift is just one example of the company's dedication to its team.
"We are grateful to be a part of such a supportive and caring company," said Mark Bernardo, general manager at Nirvasian. "This paid leave and trip are the perfect way to end the year on a high note."
Nirvasian is excited to see the positive impact the paid leave and trip will have on their employees and looks forward to a bright and prosperous year ahead.
